Geez. That Pac series just keeps on going and going and going....

Finally, a break in the wall of silence that is next-gen Nintendo news. Developer Mass Media has announced that Pac-Man will be heading to the Gameboy Advance. They have not yet specified in what form the Pac will appear, classic form or the new form. Or maybe even better we'll get a Christmas Pac-Man game based on that delightful Pac-Man Cartoon Christmas Special. Well anyway, we here at the Planet are sure it'll be great.

See Imanishi. See Imanishi boast. Boast, Imanishi, boast!

Next-Gen Magazine has an interview with Hiroshi Imanishi, Hiroshi Yamauchi's associate, in the December Issue. It's a quicke but it talks about who Nintendo thinks their biggest rival is and it speaks of launch titles. It seems like Nintedo may be acting a bit arrogant proclaiming that GBA is their biggest rival.

The great Shigeru reminds us that Numbers aren't everything...

To say it's been slow in the news department lately might be a small understatement. So when something as nice as this comes along, it makes it that much sweeter. Here are a few tidbits to chew on during the Long Drought. Notice how Miyamoto-sensei says time and again that polygons alone don't make a difference and it is how the entire system works together that will be the true test.

The Thunderbirds know where it's at: Nintendo!

Thunderbirds is a title that Gamecube followers have heard of a long time ago. If you haven't heard, the NGC/GBA will be receiving this title using the Thunderbird license.

UK-based publisher SCi Entertainment has revealed that it has signed on to do Thunderbirds for the GBA. The game will be released in Q3 2001 to coincide with the European launch of the GBA. Thunderbirds' developer, Pukka, is currently finishing up production.

Come get some Mario Party 2 downloads!

There's nothing wrong with getting something for free....especially when it deals with Nintendo. Head on over to the Nintendo of Europe website and nab some sweet Mario Party 2 (a little late eh?) Wallpapers, and a l33t screensaver. Tell 'em Louie sent you.

IGNCube has lots of goodies waiting for you!

Wow, they actually updated. IGN Cube has updated with 4 new articles. They even got a Yamauchi interview. It's a quicke but it shows his views on the Gamecube. They also have news of 4 third parties pledging to support Gamecube. The four would be: Infogrames, Take-Two, Platinum Interactive, and THQ . They also have an update on that poll about who is planning to support Gamecube and what the consumers think of the forthcoming console.

Tendo Project has an interview with Mix-Core up, detailing their origin and relations with Nintendo. There's a couple surprises in there (Nintendo discovered them through their website!), so check it out.

Notable tidbits include the current price of a 64MB card...a whopping $180 US! Either Nintendo is counting on these things getting cheap pretty... Read more...

"Let's get together, yeah yeah, yeah!" The movie (The Parent Trap) was horrid, but the idea of former-rivals getting together is right on!

Not too long ago, we reported a rumor that we saw on Magic Box that mentioned a possible partnership between longtime rivals Nintendo & Sega. According to the rumor, the two companies would team up to make a joint-online RPG for both Dreamcast & Gamecube systems & would make an official announcement... Read more...
